  December 24, 2020 Fear does not reveal its disastrous consequences to the full until it colors one’s thoughts about the source and destiny of life. Folk work joyfully at a picture-puzzle so long as they believe that the puzzle can be put together, that it was meant, completed, to compose a picture, and that their labor is an effort made in reasonable hope. Fear hides its damaging consequences until it negatively convinces one’s thoughts about life’s power and purpose. As long as I believe all parts to a puzzle are in the box, I will work with all reasonable hope and joy to completely assemble the puzzle’s picture. But if they begin to fear that they are being fooled, that the puzzle is a hoax and never can be pieced together anywhere by anyone, how swiftly that suspicion will benumb their work! So joyful living depends on man’s conviction that this life is not a hapless accident, that a good purpose binds it all together, and that our labor for righteousness is not expended on a ...

  December 10, 2020 "Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are." It is long past time for all Americans to condemn republican leaders complicit in attempts to de-legitimize the 2020 Election. Their support of false and baseless Trump conspiracy theories is injurious to Democracy and the American way of life. It’s injurious to those citizens misled by lies as well as those standing up to defend truth.   So, what's at stake if our national elections and  political institutions  are no longer legitimate and chaos ensues?  Empires fall, Civilizations die out and/or are wiped out, species mutate and planets go dark. . . Justice - "The administering of deserved punishment or reward" 5.  Government corruption and political instability If Rome’s sheer size made it difficult to govern, ineffective and inconsistent leadership only served to magnify the problem. Being the Roman emperor had always been a particularly dan...

  November 11, 2020 Today, After reading an  Associated Press article  of the passing of Lucille Bridges, I only felt it fitting to post my thoughts on it.  Lucille Bridges was a mother who allowed her six year old daughter Ruby to be one of the first black children to integrate William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana. To be chosen as one of only a few black children to participate in early desegregated schooling required a bright and fearless child. But imagine the courage it took a mother and father to expose their little girl to the ugliness and potential violence of Louisiana white racism in 1960. Lucille Bridges was that mother. Driven by a vision of equal opportunity for her daughter, a vision backed by the 1954, U.S. Supreme Court ruling on separate but equal schooling as unconstitutional. Lucille Bridges, a mother who after proudly walking with her daughter on that first day (Nov. 14, 1960) would leave her in the hands of U.S. Marshals for ...

  November 07, 2020 When the Wicked Witch of the East suffered her tragic ending, the cowered citizens of the land  came out from their hiding places in disbelief . Once convinced the reign of tyranny had come to an end, the citizens were overcome with giddy celebration of song and dance. Today's Election Results finally brought the house down on Donald Trump and his wicked administration, setting off dancing and celebrations in cities across the nation. An era of tyrannical leadership over the land of the free and home of the brave will come to an end on January 20, 2021 (Inauguration Day).  Celebrations recognizing the end of this incurable era and the beginning of truth & hope were a beauty to behold today.

  November 05, 2020 He's being compared to the  Energizer Bunny . You know, the drum-beating rabbit that just "keeps going and going and going." What sets him apart from all comparisons is his passion and persistence in providing viewers with much anticipated updates to the 2020 Presidential Election. His name is Steve Kornacki, and he's admirably manning the volatile Presidential election board on msnbc.   Steve is proving to be a master navigator of mathematics, U.S. political geography, state and federal elections laws and projections based on  real  voting ballot numbers. While others mostly discuss and speculate swing state numbers, Steve keeps us engaged visually, pointing out and comparing current counts with past numbers and calculating gains and losses as reflected on his digital battleground map.  During this tense and challenging election his reporting talents are being recognized by both colleagues and viewers alike.  As he fields electoral...
